Have a dog that is a "dangerous" breed? Help is on the way!

From the site:

Are you sick of people looking at your breed of dog in fear because politicians and the media are saying things like;

"We want to breed these dogs out of existence,"

"They are killing machines on a leash."

"These breeds don't belong in our community"

Well worry no longer, attackchi will be making disguises for all the so called 'dangerous breeds'. Now you can go to the park with your kids and your dog (like you have been doing for years), without the worry of people thinking you are a bad parent.

Airline passenger told to conceal Arabic T-shirt
Human rights activist was briefly barred from JetBlue flight in Oakland

NEW YORK - An Arab human rights activist was prevented from boarding a plane at Kennedy Airport while wearing a T-shirt that read, “We will not be silent,” in English and Arabic.

Raed Jarrar was at the gate to board a JetBlue Airways flight to Oakland, Calif., on Aug. 12 when four officials from the airline or a government agency stopped him and told him he could not board with the shirt on, he said Wednesday.

One official told him, “Going to an airport with a T-shirt in Arabic script is like going to a bank and wearing a T-shirt that says, ‘I’m a robber,”’ he said.

Jenny Dervin, a JetBlue spokeswoman, acknowledged the dispute and said the airline was investigating. She noted the incident came two days after British authorities announced they had foiled a plot to blow up jetliners over the Atlantic.

Though rules banning liquids and gels in carry-on baggage went into effect at U.S. airports, Dervin said there are no specific rules governing clothing.

Jarrar, who directs the Iraq project for Global Exchange, a San Francisco-based human rights organization, said he refused a suggestion from the officials that he turn his shirt inside out. In the end, officials gave Jarrar another shirt to wear over his, and he put it on rather than miss his flight.

Jarrar said he was forced to give up his seat near the front of the plane and was issued a new boarding pass for a seat in the rear.

It was unclear whether it was officials from JetBlue, the federal Transportation Security Administration or the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, who told Jarrar to remove his shirt, Dervin said.

Officials for the TSA and Port Authority said the agencies were investigating.

Jarrar, 28, is half-Iraqi and half-Palestinian and moved to the United States last year from Jordan, where he was studying. The slogan “We Will Not Be Silent” has been adopted by opponents of the war in Iraq.

So much for freedom of speech.

Well, that was fun...

D and I were driving home from running errands last night when one of those emergency things came over the radio. You know the annoying "beep beep beep" things that are usually just a test. Turns out there is a tornado warning for our county and the storm was headed directly for our house. Luckily, we were only a couple of miles from home.

Just as we pulled in the driveway, the tornado sirens (or whatever they're called) went off. We didn't have those where I grew up. Or if we did, I lived too far away from one to hear it. The blare of the sirens was really creepy to me. Too much like an air raid or something.

I grabbed the dogs and a radio and went into the basement while D got his laptop and tried to round up the cats. Cats are hard to herd into one area. He could only find 2 and gave up (a 3rd was already hiding down there; I knew he was smart). I peeked out the window and it was so still outside. Nothing moved. There wasn't a breeze, no birds flying around. Not even a cricket chirping. It really felt like something was going to happen.

People were calling into the radio station we had on saying they saw wall clouds just a few miles away from us headed our direction. Finally, the reallyd dark clouds moved off over downtown and I finally heard a cricket chirping again. Do you know how relieved I was to hear that cricket?

So we had a fun, tension-filled night. Not to mention trying to deal with the animals while we were down there. Rowan, our 10 year old dog, was pretty good but she knew something was up and was attached to one of our hips at all times. Max, the 5 month old puppy, was excited to explore a new place. A new place with litter boxes full of kitty treats. I'm not sure if she actually sampled any of the wonderful treats. Even though there were 2 humans in the basement, I seemed to be the only one making sure she didn't do anything bad. I finally got fed up and let her eat shit if she wanted too. She finally found the cats' food bowl and snacked on that. The cats were upset that the dogs were in their sanctuary. Remind me again why we have so many animals.
